v0 guide
v0 form backend powered by Formserve
Use Formserve as the backend for forms generated by v0.
Overview
What you are building
This guide connects an existing v0 form to Formserve. Keep your current design and let Formserve handle storage, spam checks, notifications, and integrations after submit.
Requirements

Create a Formserve endpoint and copy the public form URL.
Named fields
Every input, select, and textarea needs a useful name attribute.
Honeypot field
Add _honeypot to reduce spam without showing a CAPTCHA.
Allowed domain
Add the deployed site domain before launch.

Code
Minimal HTML contract
Every framework eventually sends these same fields. If your tool generates a component, ask it to preserve styling and only adjust the submission behavior.
<form action="https://formserve.io/f/YOUR_ENDPOINT_KEY" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="_honeypot" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off" style="position:absolute;left:-9999px" />
<input type="email" name="email" required>
<textarea name="message" required></textarea>
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
